If I may interrupt here for a second? Thank you for the courtesy that you provided to me in the Rules Committee when the liquefied natural gas--the LNG bill came up and when we talked about how we could use that strategic asset to enhance another strategic asset, the American shipbuilding industry.

I think your staff has just arrived with the papers that you need, so I will yield to you, Mr. Chairman.
